Over the past month, we've been inundated with SPAMbot registrations. This has forced us to take a very aggressive stance in the management of how new users are approved. We think we're finally on top of the issue but of course, when it comes to these matters, you can never be 100% sure.

However, I'm confident that the situation is under enough control to where we can turn the signature feature of our profiles back on. It was turned off several years ago because spambots were using it as an easy way to spread their messages. So now, we ask anyone with a professional affiliation with any entity in the fishing industry to again please make these affiliations known.
